The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, often described as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."

The Crater and Departure
Ngorongoro Crater
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning game drive in this unique ecosystem. The crater floor is home to a high concentration of wildlife, including all of the Big Five. The enclosed nature of the crater means animals are generally easier to spot than in the open plains. After your crater exploration, enjoy a picnic lunch before beginning your journey back to Arusha. You'll arrive in Arusha in the late afternoon, marking the end of your 6-day budget safari adventure.
